2012 Australia 1 oz Gold Lunar Dragon BU (Series II)
2012 Australia 1 oz Gold Lunar Dragon BU (Series II)
In 2012, Australia celebrated the Lunar Year of the Dragon with a striking gold coin that combines traditional eastern imagery with classic commonwealth portraiture. Struck in one troy ounce of highly refined 0.9999 fine gold, this legal tender release carries a face value of 100 Dollars, fully backed by the Australian government. The obverse of the coin presents the familiar profile of Queen Elizabeth II, as designed by Ian Rank-Broadley. Circling the portrait are inscriptions detailing the weight, the high purity of the gold, the 2012 issue date, and the monetary denomination. On the reverse, a dynamic Chinese dragon is depicted alongside a representation of the pearl of wisdom, a classic motif in lunar lore. The design also incorporates the Chinese character representing the dragon, the English phrase "Year of the Dragon," and the "P" mint mark, which identifies its origin from the Perth Mint.
